It's cheaper than booking tickets on the official website, and you'll also receive commemorative coins. It's also very convenient to use. Just check the time and the dock on the official WeChat account one day in advance, tell them what time you want to book the boat, and then go to the boarding dock 20 minutes before the boat leaves and wait for them to send someone to take you on board.
My first time riding the Two Rivers and Four Lakes luxury boat was a revelation! The all-glass hull offered incredible views, the air conditioning was perfectly chilled, and the seats felt like sofas. The illuminated Elephant Trunk Hill and the Sun and Moon Pagodas at night were a dreamlike spectacle. The onboard refreshments were exquisite and delicious, and the experience was completely stress-free. It was like a mobile viewing palace!

We experienced the customs and culture of the Yao ethnic minority in my country. We visited the spectacular terraced fields of Jinkeng Dazhai in the Longji Rice Terraces Scenic Area and sampled Yao specialties like bamboo chicken and duck, as well as minced meat rice noodles. We also visited the China Long Hair Museum.
**Longji Rice Terraces: A Poetic Scroll of Millennia of Farming**
Recognized as the "World's Crown of Terraced Fields," the Longji Rice Terraces are a three-dimensional painting sculpted over 700 years by the Yao and Zhuang people. In spring and summer, the mirror-like terraces reflect the sky, in autumn, golden rice paddies roll like waves, and in winter, the snow-covered terraces offer a tranquil spectacle, creating a breathtaking spectacle in every season.
This is not only a natural wonder but also a living cultural museum. Huangluo Yao Village, known as the "World's Longest Hair Village," showcases the intangible cultural heritage of the Red Yao. Folk activities like the Opening of the Plough Festival and the Rice-Combing Festival allow visitors to immerse themselves in millennia of agricultural wisdom. Terraced field hikes, star-filled camping, and sour soup fish feasts offer a journey that blends wildness with cultural depth.
Avoid holidays to enjoy the morning mist of the terraces and the golden light of the evening. Recommended accommodations include scenic guesthouses or hot spring hotels, where you can soak in the hot springs and gaze at the stars, immersing yourself in the healing beauty of Longji.
**Summary in one sentence**: Longji Rice Terraces are a perfect symphony of nature and humanity, and it is worth visiting at least once in a lifetime.

"Guilin landscape is the world, Yangshuo landscape is Guilin", and the Lijiang is the essence of Yangshuo scenery. It is worth going. If you go there, you will fall in love with the must-check attractions: 1⃣ Huangbu Reflection (20 yuan on the back, the same style must be photographed) 2⃣ Jiuma Painting Mountain (rock wall natural "Hummer", try counting 9 horses) 3⃣ Xingping Ancient Town (Visit the old street, climb the old Zhai Mountain to see the Lijiang River turn) 4⃣ Yulong River (Bamboo rafting, See the small and fresh scenery of the pastoral)
This cruise is incredibly cost-effective, boasting a three-star price tag and four-star quality. Even the boarding pier is the same as a four-star ship. Aside from the lack of meals, everything else is the same as a four-star ship. The overall style is child-friendly, and you can order food on board, which is very convenient.

This one performance offset all the previous complaints about the heat, the crowds, and the difficulty in getting a taxi. The performance was great and well worth the ticket price. There are many more performances in the park where you can take photos and check in.
The overall performance was very creative, the singing and dancing were very professional, and the stage design was very novel and impressive. I also learned a lot about Guilin through this performance. There are many other small performances in the scenic area, which are very interactive.

There weren't many people, and the entrance time was fast. The dolphin show was wonderful, the mermaid show was also good, and the combined ticket was very convenient. After watching the underwater world, I went directly to Happy World. Surprisingly, there was no need to queue for the Ferris wheel here. Unfortunately, it was a traffic jam when I didn't drive on
It is worth recommending that the Water World is generally better to go in after 4 or 5 o'clock. The sun is too strong during the day, so I didn't go to the Sea World and Tribe World, but the Water World is more popular with children. The ticket price is not expensive, and there are many fun things inside.

The commercial pedestrian street has various shops and snacks, as well as a variety of local specialties, especially beer fish and osmanthus souvenirs, which are delicious and must be tried when you come to Guilin.
When I traveled to Guilin, I stayed at the Sheraton Hotel, which is very close to Zhengyang Pedestrian Street. I walked to Zhengyang Pedestrian Street at night. This is an ancient street with a thousand-year history. It used to be the drama and cultural center of Guilin. In the old days, Gui Opera, Peking Opera, and Caidiao were performed here. There are also government agencies, provincial halls, temple fairs, mansions, churches, etc. It is a central area in Guilin. Zhengyang Pedestrian Street is well connected, and there are attractions on every road, so you can wander around aimlessly and eat wherever you go.

We took a cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo, absorbing the beautiful views of the karst mountains from the water. Then we stayed at an inn outside of the old town so we could spend some quiet time relaxing and exploring the countryside. There were hiking trails through small villages, along fruit orchards. I also hiked to a little 500-year-old bridge and up some mountains for the gorgeous views. Street vendors are available all over to provide snacks and refreshments.
It is said that Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo's scenery is the best in Guilin. The beautiful landscapes everywhere in Yangshuo can make visitors intoxicated and feel like they are floating in the air. Even the countryside is so beautiful. I really like this place.
